(NOAH) Misawa's first lecture at the Teikyo Heisei University was "lethargic".

10th April 2009

(This is very not Misawa, and shows how exhausted he was. Unfortunately we don't know Misawa's thoughts on this, as his online diary, "Donmai, Donmai" stopped in January 2009.)

On the 9th, Noah's Mitsuharu Misawa (46), served as a lecturer on the "Sports Culture Theory" course that started in April at Teikyo Heisei University's Ikebukuro campus in Tokyo, where he became a guest visiting professor*. After giving a one-and-a-half-hour lecture to about 200 students from the Faculty of Human Sciences' Department of Human Sciences, Misawa said with a wry smile, "It's a mess, it's like the title match didn't come together."

Misawa, who was nervous throughout, shared life lessons such as "Success is an accumulation of positive failures", "Rather than regret not doing something, regret doing it" and other life lessons. His specialty, dirty jokes, were put on hold because, "there were ladies present*", and he seemed a little stressed out. Lectures at the university will continue until July, with Misawa and other Noah wrestlers and staff as part-time lecturers, including Kobashi and Akiyama.

Notes

*Visiting Professor: This would be like an honorary professor, as this is sometimes awarded to people who don't have the academic background, but have left behind achievements. 

*Ladies present: This didn't stop him previously, however.
